It’s NFL Draft day and a bunch of rookies are about to become stupid rich. Cam Newton will most likely be your #1 overall and will get filthy money. He’ll instantly hit the housing market with his millions and look for something in the 10,000 sq. ft. range with multiple SUV garage bays and home theater.
Here are your #1 overall picks from 2000-2010 and the pads they purchased with their millions. (Some couldn’t be located or have been forfeited.)
